Given that Linux is about choice, and the fact that we Linux users moan so much about MS apps not running on Linux, it kind of seems hypocrtical to support *only* Linux! Fair enough having a personal agenda, but enforcing it on others (i.e. being hostile) isn't really on. I am quite dissapointed now. I moved away from Microsoft to get rid of this kind of thing :) On Wed, 2003-09-03 at 08:09, robert w hall wrote:

Colin,
Any chance of a downloadable exe?
Yes I'd be glad to, but the Windows port is not ready yet for release. I got as far as the splash screen. Still more bugs to fix. Encouraging though.
In response to my request for technical information about Dillo to make it easier for me to debug the Windows port, Jorge sent me an email off-list last week in which he told me, "you're on your own" and directed me to his interview at http://www.dillo.org/interview.html for the reason why. What Jorge says there is he is opposed to supporting Windows users as a matter of personal politics.
Well, for me, one of the annoying things about M$ is it's policy of aggressive obsolescence. Support for NT3.51, NT4, win95, win98 has already gone - but these systems have life left in them and are appropriate to the smaller machines of their time. I would have thought supporting a browser to run on these earlier machines would in no way be helping the Gates empire to 'world domination', quite the reverse...
